was at some distance from his residence,
and so fearful were the girls lest they
should be late at the wedding, that their
mother wrote note TO the teacher asking
that they might be excused q half-hour
earlier than usual So they reached the
church door almost as soon as the sexton, and
going in, had some little time TO wait. BY

entered; but Julia, who had also turneu
around, scarcely needed her, so intent was
she upon certain small yellow envelope

colors would be the PROTEST for the carpet
and decided upon black and scsrlet com

occupied with this subject, that she scarcely
noticed word OF the ceremony, and 1t was
only when her father said the words u

was recalled to the present.
The girls started for home, after seeing
the carriage drive towards the depot, and
then waited impauentiy for their fathers

Minnie declared he must have gone on on
the train with the bridal party. However,
after two trips out to the gate to see II he
was coming, she was finally rewarded by
seeing him approaching, but walking as
